I've been quitting on casual until I get the chance to play him in order to figure out what to do and every combination of ideas I've tried just feels terrible and I lose against anything meta. The cannon play is just so unimpactful, even upgraded, to sink mana into using the hero power and are super easy for the opponent to play around. Safe Harbor felt like the only treasure out of the 6 worth using because it doesn't involve the cannons. Even worse, it locks you into 6 board slots. It just feels way too tame and weak for the format of duels.
When we had darius in the monster hunt he was pretty fun because there were a few treasures involving the hero power and the ability to have more than one cannon treasure. You could have two cannons that fired 2 damage shots, for instance. As of now the only way I can see them working is if you land the super rare Stargazing which isn't something you can bank on.
I feel like the hero powers could be reduced to 1/1/2 mana and he might be a bit more playable, but cannon synergy sucks so much that I wouldn't hold my breath. Anyone managed to make him work?
